My communication style

I am often told that I bring a safe, secure, and comforting presence. I prioritize open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If you are in a tough place, I will work in that safe place with you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have seen therapy work in my own life and relationship. I am not just a therapist; I have also been a client. I have always wanted to help people. Being a client showed me just how much help therapy can be and gave me the drive for training. I hope to pass on that healing experience to each of my clients.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a partnership. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you—whether that’s improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing personal growth. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.

Our first session

I remember how nervous I was the first time I went to therapy, so I want you to know that it's okay for you to be nervous too. Our first session is about getting to know each other. I would want to hear what is bringing you to therapy. Therapy is something we build together over time, and I will walk with you every step of the way.
